Triumph just dropped fresh paint schemes for its 2026 Rocket 3 Storm R and GT models, and honestly? These new colour combinations might just be the best thing to happen to India’s most powerful production motorcycle this year.
The British manufacturer’s latest colour update isn’t just about slapping on some new paint – it’s about making an already intimidating machine even more of a head-turner on Indian roads. With dealerships getting these new paint options from July 2025, Rocket 3 enthusiasts finally have something fresh to get excited about. And trust me, you’ll want to see these in person.
Design
The 2026 Rocket 3 Storm GT now rocks a stunning Matt Sapphire Black and Satin Granite tank with this perfect Korosi Red coachline that’ll literally make you stop mid-conversation. It’s like someone took a stealth bomber, gave it racing stripes, and somehow made it look elegant – sophisticated yet properly aggressive.
The Storm R, meanwhile, gets its own dose of drama with a Satin Baja Orange and Matt Sapphire Black combo that’s… well, imagine sunset meeting midnight after a few drinks. Bold doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Both variants keep their signature blacked-out bits that we’ve grown to love:
- Sapphire Black flyscreen and headlight bowls
- Matt Phantom Black mudguards and side panels
- Anodised rear frame forging and swingarm guards
- Blacked-out exhaust headers and intake covers
The whole package just screams “don’t mess with me” in the most British way possible.

Performance That Still Stops Traffic
Let’s cut to the chase – nobody’s buying a Rocket 3 for fuel economy or practicality. The 2,458cc liquid-cooled inline three-cylinder engine continues to pump out an absolutely ridiculous 182hp at 7,000rpm and 225Nm of torque at 4,000rpm.
That’s genuinely more power than most cars had a decade ago, all wrapped up in a motorcycle package that weighs just 317kg (Storm R) and 320kg (Storm GT). The power-to-weight ratio is frankly obscene.
The engineering bits that actually matter when you’re trying not to become a statistic:
- 10-spoke cast aluminium wheels (lighter than the previous generation, thankfully)
- Metzeler Cruisetec tyres (a proper upgrade from those Avon Cobras)
- Twin Brembo Stylema calipers with 320mm front discs
- Showa suspension front and rear that won’t leave you crying after speed bumps
Ergonomics & Comfort
Here’s where the R and GT really show their personalities. The Storm R sits at 773mm seat height with this more aggressive roadster position – perfect if you want to feel every single vibration from that massive engine and don’t mind your wrists hating you after long rides.
The GT drops to 750mm with swept-back handlebars and a riding position that won’t have you visiting a chiropractor every weekend. It’s basically the difference between a track day weapon and something you could actually tour on without regretting your life choices.
Price
The numbers that’ll make your wallet file a restraining order:
- Rocket 3 Storm R: ₹21.99 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Rocket 3 Storm GT: ₹22.59 lakh (ex-showroom)
At these prices, you’re not just buying a motorcycle – you’re investing in a conversation starter that happens to have two wheels and enough torque to rearrange your internal organs. But hey, at least you’ll look fantastic while questioning your financial decisions.
